Zig Zag'n Early Summer Topwater MUSKIES!

[@oafishing]

Topwater lures are where it's at! Great action on that lure!

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Amen to that Omar! 👊

[@ilbassodellamorte2563]

I’ve caught way more fish on zig zag topwaters than prop style baits, especially in the rain. Absolute murder in the rain!

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Interesting observation. 👌

Great demo, thanks!

[@scottweidner1613]

Thanks for showing your technique 👍👍

[@JoeBucherVideo]

My pleasure 😊

[@davidjacoboski4657]

I know exactly what you’re talking about Joe. 👍

[@northwoodsknifeguy2503]

I will be ordering some thanks for the video!! Can you please tell me the model of leader you use for that topwater? I saw there are several types and I want to make sure I get the proper one. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Thanks for the positive comments. The leader in this video is a new coated wire one JBO will be coming out with soon. That being said, both our heavy fluorocarbon leaders as well as our current JBO 00947 and 00997 will work well here.

@@JoeBucherVideo would you mind to suggest a St. Croix rod in the 200 dollar range I could throw these top waters on? I own a 7 foot and a 7’4 H/F mojo bass casting rod. Would those work? Thank you again for any advice.

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Your current rods will probably work ok, but I personally prefer a length of at least 8’ and a MH action. Better on F8s and short range battles.

[@northwoodsknifeguy2503]

@@JoeBucherVideo gotcha. I will look into purchasing a longer MH. Thank you for your time and response!

[@henryimmerfall7768]

Will this bait work on dark water flowage?

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Yes.

[@nickdavis5935]

I smoked a mid 40s on one of these on timber next to deep water at dusk.

[@JoeBucherVideo]

Awesome! 💪
